In just one week, more than ten thousand people have signed an online petition launched by Fidelitas, the youth wing of Hungary’s governing party, to oppose the reintroduction of mandatory military service .

Speaking about Thursday’s upcoming Peace March, Mohacsy said that Fidelitas is also actively encouraging participation through social media.

There has never been a more important time to take part in this large-scale awareness-raising event. This march is truly about bringing peace in the world. From the very start of the Russia–Ukraine conflict, our position has been pro-peace — and we welcome the fact that U.S. President Donald Trump is making serious efforts to bring this war to an end,

he stated.

Mohacsy added that Fidelitas is preparing a special performance for the Peace March, though he did not disclose further details.
